Great ride guys, really enjoying your footage!! Looks like we share the same terrain and I live in Northern Ontario Canada. And even though I'm a Cam Am rider, I do think Carson's new tires make his machine look Menacing!! LMAO Keep up the great work guys! 😎
Wow beautiful mountain. That’s some tuff trails I think yall did really good just to get out of there no worse than what you were . Great video love watching them every time please keep up the great work and stay safe.👍👍
Lots of great people around ky/tn in the offroad community willing to lend a hand. Glad you got it fixed and off the trail without much problem. Carson definitely understands throttle control and taking time to get lined up. A lot of people just pin it and hope to make it to the top and end up with broken axles etc..
Great video! I like how you td us what trail yall were running. It gives us a great idea for when we go to that park. Yall should definitely make more 👍
If you don’t mind me asking. What size tires are you running on your yxz? What offset are the wheels and do you have gear reduction? I’m trying to figure out what I want to do with my 2020 yxz 1000 xtr
32” rockabillys, raceline beadlock wheels with 4-3 offset, 70/30 gear reduction, heavy flywheel. Soon after making this vid I disconnected front and rear sway bars and added 1” wheel spacers which made a big difference for the better. Went back to trail 40 a few months later and killed it.
Same exact thing happened to my KRX at Hatfield McCoy trails at 185 miles. We couldn’t get a part so we had to drag it out on the rear end of my buddies xp1k. It was a nightmare. Kawasaki still refuses to admit their is a problem and hasn’t updated the part. Only thing can do is grind the stops on the knuckles.
I'm shocked that Kawasaki isn't owning up to this, there are tons of people with this issue(and many others) the krx seems to still be in beta test mode.
I’m sure know this now, but Kawasaki is now replacing the issue on the 2020 models and are calling it a “performance upgrade” - free of charge. I recently had mine replaced.
Bob Law First time we have been on 40. Usually the 2nd time on a rough trail it doesn’t look quite as bad so we plan on redoing 40 in the next couple months.
First time I saw the Kawasaki in person I was surprised how big they are. Made a two seat RZR look like a 3/4 scale. Maybe some of that weight takes a toll on parts?
Great video. I was wondering if the gear reduction is a must for this terrain. I have a heavy hitter fly wheel. Just wondering if that’s enough or need to upgrade my 17 ss. Transmission
Jamey Arthurhultz Desiree and her husband own s shop called Brute Performance and they also own a Teryx and a KRX. They are local to Windrock and sure enough they had what we needed.
Wow that was brutal for you and the kawi. Man I’m so happy Carson got some new tires and wheels that thing looks like a beast now. I’m glad you got out before dark and no one got hurt. Great video Keith I like that you show even when things aren’t exactly perfect. Great job 👍👍👍
Definitely needed to grind an angle on the steering stop on the hub. You can see where it's been hitting hard and digging into the a-arm. It was just a matter of time before it broke, especially on trails like those. I did mine to avoid being stranded out on the trail like that. It would be nice if Kawasaki would address that particular issue. Bone stock it's a beast.
I haven't got to take mine out yet and want to avoid this. What kind of angle do I need to grind on the steering stops? I haven't looked at it yet. Is it something you'll be able to tell when you look at it?
@@dirtslinger1500 I would take it for a ride or two and see if yours are hitting. For whatever reason, not all do. You will be able to see if it is gouging into the paint and the a-arm. You just grind an angle on the steering stops so the bottom corner of it no longer hangs up on the a-arm. It is obvious what you need to do, if yours are hitting. Only my rear stops were hitting, so I only ground the rear two stops. Pause the video at the 25:07 mark and you will see where his was hitting and gouging into the paint.
@@boblaws9851 . Ok thanks man. And thanks for the info. I've rode dirt bikes, three wheelers and four wheelers my whole life but this is my first SXS. Whole new game it seems like. But I'll take your advice and take it for a ride and keep an eye on it. Hopefully I've got one that don't hit. Lol.
Just checked mine. It's hit on both sides. Not bad but the paint is chipped off and had a tiny little gouge in it. I wonder if Kawasaki will replace them with the new ones before they break? Sure would save alot of headache.
Carson is the man!
Thank GOD for Carson!!!!!!! Even IF you can get parts if you don't have someone who knows what they are doing you got BIGGER PROBLEM!!!
Great ride guys, really enjoying your footage!! Looks like we share the same terrain and I live in Northern Ontario Canada. And even though I'm a Cam Am rider, I do think Carson's new tires make his machine look Menacing!! LMAO Keep up the great work guys! 😎
Hey appreciate it bud.
Great video!
What cage is that on the YXZ to retain the factory roof, looks great!
I'd like a similar setup.
Thanks
Had my fab guy build a cage from 095 tubing just like stock cage so I could keep my roof and flip back windshield.
@@tcboffroad3206 looks great, thanks.
Holy shit a krx with a cart chip looks fucking mean af damn
Glad y’all got it out safely. Good video. I’m hoping to have all my stuff fixed in 3 weeks. A Windrock trip will follow.
Blake Holmes hey thanks bud. We’re planning on redoing that trail soon.
Wow beautiful mountain. That’s some tuff trails I think yall did really good just to get out of there no worse than what you were . Great video love watching them every time please keep up the great work and stay safe.👍👍
Danny Cardin hey bud thanks a bunch.

CumminsDriver635 Carson did good. Sometimes throttle control isn’t an option with a YXZ. lol
CumminsDriver635 appreciate it man
@@tcboffroad3206 Yeah dont take that as a jab towards you because the YXZ is a little different animal than a belt machine. lol
@@carsondugger4725 You're welcome man!
CumminsDriver635 I’m with ya man...lol
I need to be more PC! Great video guys! Please keep them coming!
DUNE YXZ lol. Appreciate it bud...
TCB Offroad You bet! Brain fart on my end...kids enjoy this stuff too...
Great video! I like how you td us what trail yall were running. It gives us a great idea for when we go to that park. Yall should definitely make more 👍
HL HL Thanks man. Hopefully we’ll be making quite a bit more.

They have fixed the issue with newer models. Mine has the newer knuckles and lower arms. Build date of May 2020. Not sure what yours is.
Kawasaki IS owning up. Call Kawasaki customer service and they will replace the parts for free
I’m sure know this now, but Kawasaki is now replacing the issue on the 2020 models and are calling it a “performance upgrade” - free of charge. I recently had mine replaced.
Here in the future, they fixed it..
Great video! Nice to have someone who can turn a wrench .
Mike Ruder heck yeah I agree...
Well now I know to stay off this trail when riding at Windrock. Good Video.
Bob Law First time we have been on 40. Usually the 2nd time on a rough trail it doesn’t look quite as bad so we plan on redoing 40 in the next couple months.
Another good video. You guys do some tough trails. Hoping to see Ed back with you guys I like watching the 4 seater. Keep up the good work gentlemen.
Dewayn Heltibrand He’s had some transmission issues but we’re hoping he’ll be back soon.
Good job enjoy watching brother man 👍👍👍
Anthony Collins As always we appreciate it.
I love your video's!
Ryan Bieberich thanks man we appreciate that.
That’s some tuff rippins alright, put them machines to the test for sure wow
Chapster Onetime we got in a hurry after the krx broke so we plan on doing 40 again in the next month or two. Thanks for watching bud.
When he broke the Hub did he have 35 inch tires on or factory
Pretty sure he had stock tires.
I really enjoy watching you and Carson. You both handle your machines well. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks bud we appreciate that.

Stock gearing riding the tougher trails at Windrock would be tough
Not to mention you’d need all the ground clearance you can get which involves bigger tires which would hurt your gearing even worse.
@@tcboffroad3206 thanks for the advice. 👍
@@JA-rv2cx yesssirrr
kinda like logging boys anything that can break will lol !!!! good vid !
StumpjumperVideos oh yeah...lol
Great video. I subscribed to keep up. When I go to Windrock, I know to skip that trail. Lol. If you get a chance, please check my Channel out
How did they find a new hub? Kawasaki never has anything available!
Jamey Arthurhultz Desiree and her husband own s shop called Brute Performance and they also own a Teryx and a KRX. They are local to Windrock and sure enough they had what we needed.
7:00 yxz really reminds me of the sound of a 4.0L jeep! Lol
T Austin not sure if that’s good or bad.lol. Definitely thanks for watching tho....
TCB Offroad not a bad thing at all! Just sounds similar. Great content I’ll be sure to subscribe
T Austin man that’s awesome thank you.
Wow that was brutal for you and the kawi. Man I’m so happy Carson got some new tires and wheels that thing looks like a beast now. I’m glad you got out before dark and no one got hurt. Great video Keith I like that you show even when things aren’t exactly perfect. Great job 👍👍👍
Definitely gonna have some bad days when off roading. lol
What state is that in
Tennessee
I guess the YXZ can’t win them all. lol Carson has a mean Turbo S and he handles it well. Another really good video.
Alan Gassel Thank you sir. Carson definitely killed it.

Bob Laws that’s what the owner was told. Yeah I agree with you other than the hub issues I think the krx is an impressive machine.
